if wan cou’d be got amonge them, at both sides there wou’d not be

this as I saw in wan of your letters how displaising its to the ladies, you

it gives me vast pleasure to find Miss kavanagh is so well plais’d
with teaching in the poor school, it shows a particular call from
the great God, to take delights in it, I dread tho’ her health is
better, yet in winter it will be too cold for her, and it wou’d be
better she shou’d take care of herself, for the good of the poor here
where she can be of more sarvise, than there, and I beg youlle indevor
to prevent her from going to them, I had an account from my friends in

pleas’d it was for this foundation she had determin’d and he wou’d never

he ingag’s, not to let her want any thing during her life, we
were so sure of your coming over, by reports that sartenly you were on your
journey, only Mr Doran inquir’d into the truth of this before
he wrote, to tell her, you was expect’d hourly, when he wou’d find

and could not have avoid’d put myself to some expense at a time I had
